Realistic images
Three-dimensional modeling and imagery allows you to visualize in great detail exactly what an object will look like before it's built. It can then be evaluated for strength, fit, mass properties and aesthetics
Revisable objects
Revising product specs while still in the design phase is dramatically easier and less costly than "going back to the drawing board" at any other stage of production. 3D modeling allows you to see an accurate representation of the final product, whatever it may be, long before such flaws cost you a fortune in retooling, etc. Most design flaws will be uncovered and can be dealt with much earlier in the process. This cost-saving feature alone can often justify the expense.
Multi-angle views and simulated environments
Being able to see an object from any angle, and in any environment, is also key to keeping costs under control. A rendered image of a proposed building in its intended environment can speed municipal approval processes or uncover spatial problems, for example.

Versatility
Once your object has been modeled and rendered in three dimensions, a whole other world of possibilities opens. For example. data can be integrated with computerized machine tools for precise machining operations. Prototyping machines can also accept data. Also, job costing and scheduling applications can utilize output data for detailed budgeting and planning.
To see the typical stages of a 3D project, review our Project Workflow. You will be surprised at how easy it is to get started. (Hint: You probably have everything you need already!)
